Hello to the list, Was wondering what would cause a good hard drive to go bad. I have two iMacs, iMac 500 and iMac 350, the 350 had a 40gig hard drive and the 500 had a 20gig. Since I was upgrading the 500 to Panther I decided to switch the hard drives, (both working fine no problems). The 40 works fine in the 500 now, but the 20 is no longer working, it has the sound of a empty paint can with the ball rattling around, same sound I've heard before in a bad hard drive. What would cause a perfectly good hard drive to go bad with just a easy switch? I've gone back over everything, connections all good, hit the cuda still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
